Gorilla trekking and transfer for canoeing at Lake Bunyonyi
After the early morning breakfast, proceed to the briefing point where we you meet the local guides and other trackers to have a briefing on gorilla trekking etiquettes. After the that, we'll go into the jungle to a location where gorillas were spotted the night before, and we'll track from there. Depending on the family's location and the altitude, which must be over 7,500 feet, trekking could take anywhere from 1 to 6 hours. The muddy, uneven terrain demands that you be physically fit. Despite the hike's physical difficulty, it is enjoyable because of how lovely the forest and surroundings are. It is advised that you bring a lot of water on the walk. Cameras and plenty of fast-speed films are recommended. Being a tropical rain forest, it may rain at no notice, hence need to bring with you waterproof clothing, including zip-lock bags for cameras and film.
